ThermaFY Group

This week, I had the privilege of volunteering at Microsoft's annual Hackathon, partnering with ThermaFY Group, a company committed to promoting community savings and energy efficiency. 💡 Working with Copilot at my side, the experience was intense (the 5am kick off call required a LOT of coffee ☕) yet rewarding, showcasing what can be achieved in a short timeframe. 🎉 The week was filled with fun, collaboration, and the opportunity to meet some truly remarkable individuals. I hope that our collective efforts will lead to a tangible social impact. #Hackathon #Collaboration #SocialImpact #copilot #energysaving #MicrosoftHackathon Geoffroy de Chateauvieux Eimear O'Rourke Lizzie Elliot Amanda Pickford Buse Bircan Jonathan Mars

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Scotland House Takeover - Day 1 & 2 Wrap-Up 🎡 It was ‘standing room only’ on both Monday and Tuesday morning as we kicked off our London Tech Week fringe events. With 20 Scotland-based companies with us, we were here to make a splash, which we’ve certainly achieved so far. We particularly enjoyed hearing from our #VC Panel, featuring James Pringle of Mercuri and Daniel Glazer of Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati expertly hosted by our very own Beena Sharma of CCU International. We covered a wide range of topics (as you’d expect). Everything from #AI agents, to #UK and #US fundraising trends and what to say or not say in your pitch. This was the perfect prelude to some drop-in pitch practice later that afternoon. Special thanks to Patrycja, Cameron, Victoria for offering some great feedback to the companies ahead of Scotch & Pitches this evening (few places available! sign up up here https://lnkd.in/ensiAjCS) A get-together dinner for us and many more #Scottish friends in #London was a great way to wrap-up the day before we headed to the official LONDON TECH WEEK 2024 opening party at Between The Bridges. Yesterday kicked off with a very similar event format, this time hearing from Mary Lin, Co-Founder & Co-CEO of Odin. We really enjoyed hearing Mary’s insights on fundraising and her founder journey. Special mention to Danielle Shand of Thorntons Law LLP for expertly hosting. With well in excess of 90+ VC firms registered across our events this week, it’s a sure a sign as any of what #Scotland has to offer. Huge thanks has to go to the Scotland House London team - Bronach Hughes, Mariama C., Kirsteen Paterson, Paul Wood, John Webster. We’ve enjoyed working closely with them on this events series. It’s a superb space in a superb location and our companies have particularly enjoyed co-working there this week. That’s not all of course. We’ll be back this afternoon for a ‘LDN Ecosystem Mixer’ - sold out (even the waiting list is ‘sold out’). However, we do have some spots going at our flagship event tonight 'Scotch & Pitches' at Shoreditch Exchange We’ll be bringing together 200 VCs, Angels, Corporates and ecosystem builders from all over the world for an evening of pitches, free whisky tasting, music and delicious food.
